Crypto Portfolio Research ·

We buy what people actually use — while everyone else is scared.

A utility-first portfolio of 15 assets: the bedrock of crypto, the exchange revenue machines, the AI future, and one real anchor of gold. Every pick is rated, sized, and assembled with the math shown on this page.

Step 1 · The state of the market

Why now?

The market is in fear. Here is the proof, in numbers.

Fear & Greed Index

29FEAR

12 months of pain

Every major asset is down huge amounts — except the exchange tokens and gold. That is the whole thesis in one chart.

Market context

    Step 2 · Starting from the Top-100 categories

    The category map

    We started exactly where you asked: CoinGecko's category lists — the "sorted by category" view — and bought the leaders inside the categories that have real revenue.

    Category market caps in $B, live from CoinGecko, Aug 2026. Meme tokens: zero utility, zero place in this portfolio.

    Step 3 · The science

    How we score every asset

    Six criteria, transparent weights, a number for every pick. You can re-run this math yourself — the scores are computed live from the table below.

    The formula

    Each asset gets a 1–10 score per criterion. The weighted result (0–10) drives its portfolio weight. Higher score = bigger allocation — that's the whole sizing rule.

    Step 4 · The assembly

    The portfolio

    Five sleeves, fifteen positions, $1,000, every order above the $10 minimum. Hover the donut to see each slice.

    Step 5 · The research

    Deep dives — why each one

    Every asset with its thesis, its rating, its criteria scores, and the honest risks. Read these before you buy anything.

    Step 6 · The scoreboard

    B&H vs Bitcoin

    Bitcoin is the base rate of crypto. We compare every pick's last-12-months return against Bitcoin's -49%. Beating BTC is the whole game.

    Step 7 · Money where it matters

    How to execute it

    All 15 assets trade on HyperLiquid spot in USDC pairs — one account, one tracker. ByBit is the backup.

    Steps

      The fine print

      • Minimum order: — every position here is $15 or larger.
      • Venue check: verified against HyperLiquid's live market list — HYPE and PAXG included (15/15).
      • Use limit orders 1–3% under market to avoid slippage on thin pairs (AR, ONDO).
      • Keep $10–20 USDC aside for gas and dip-buys.
      • Not on HyperLiquid? Nothing is missing — every pick is also on ByBit spot.

      Step 8 · Staying alive

      The risk math

      Drawdowns are the reason most people lose money in crypto. Here is the math, and the rules that keep this portfolio alive.

      Lose 50% → need +100% just to break even. This is why PAXG, the cash buffer, and tranches exist.
